Civilization

"Hey, wait I'm still not one hundred percent sure about this…" - Evan

"It's fine. Don't worry. Sam, I'm sure this isn't all you brought us here to talk about." - Ian

"You are right, Ian. As always you have a keen eye for these things. The name and the official birth of RavenStar are just the start. This Hale Ali's, I want to make it an official building for us so we can live and work together in the coming days. It is just a suggestion and it is not final yet, but I think it would be better if we are together. What do all of you think?" - Sam

"Like a gaming house that people did for esports years ago?" - Kingston

"The exact same, yes." -Sam

"So we would move from our homes to here and just live here?" - Nina

"Yes. I don't know if everyone is okay with that because we all have our own lives." - Sam

"Sabrina, what do you think? - Evan

"Why are you asking me? Can't you decide for yourself?" - Sabrina

"What? I can't ask you? We practically live next to each other." -Evan

"HEY! You can't just say that. Guys, I don't live near this idiot. I would rather die but if it was living here. I don't mind." - Sabrina

"Alright, both Sabrina and I are staying." - Evan

"I would love to live here, daddy Sam. Take me away asap! However, I don't know if I can just leave my family like this so I'll have to give you an answer later." -Kingston

"That's fine, I don't want to force you. Discuss with your family first before deciding." - Sam

"Babe, what do you think?"- Ian

"I'll do whatever you want. I'm happy so long as I'm with you." - Rebecca

"Then I think we will stay here. The apartment I'm living in is already small and I don't exactly like living there. Plus if anything were to happen to us like before we will be able to react faster right?" - Ian

"Yes, if you are talking about the episode of the spider mark on your neck then I always have a team of medics ready at a moment's notice. They will make sure your life isn't in danger during your stay." - Sam

"Then that's settled, let's stay here babe."- Rebecca

"Well if most of us are staying then I'm staying too. I'll just need to tell my family and I should be good to go!" - Nina

"Alright, thank you, everyone. Not going to lie I was slightly worried none of you would accept since it was a very out-of-the-blue topic but moving on. We have the patch notes. Due to Ian interacting with an NPC again we have a new patch. Do you want to tell us the context of what happened?" - Sam

"Sure. The NPC with whom I interacted is the Guardian of Civilization, Mumei. She is a legendary being who is connected to the gods as well as the lore behind the game before players were introduced. However, she is extremely forgetful and seems to forget a lot of different information the long she is alive. During our short interaction, she forgot me twice, but she didn't forget her objective of destroying the enemy General Zabik.

There wasn't a lot of information I could gather from Mumei, but that didn't mean I didn't get any information. She knows that the Reaper is behind the invasion however she chose to not attack the Reaper directly. Instead, she chose to attack Zabik. Her objective is not to defeat the Kings but to create a balance of some sort between the Kings and other Civilizations. The only problem with that is she is one person.

She also knows about the Horde before the Horde became a King. Going off that, we can assume she knows the lore behind all the Kings and is constantly traveling throughout the continent defeating enemies in the shadows. That's more or less the extent of her background that I could gather from talking to her. Other than that, she is extremely powerful and her abilities are very flexible and versatile." - Ian

"Is she more of a mage or a warrior? And is she willing to help players to an extent?" - Nina

"Hmm, from the small battle I can only tell you that she is a little of both. She uses a small knife as a weapon but some of her skills were like magic." - Ian

"Can you compare her abilities to Casper or Rautt? Since you have seen both of them." - Kingston

"I feel like she could defeat them in a fight but it wouldn't be an easy battle and she might lose as well since Casper and Rautt haven't shown their true power. Then again, neither has Mumei so I'm not too sure about comparing them to each other." - Ian

"Well, not much you can do there. Sam, what's on the home page and show us the new patch notes?" - Evan

"Alright, if everyone were to look at the screen I'll show you what is shown to us by the game devs." - Sam

Looking up at the screen, the home page is zoomed in showing just the information about the patch notes.

[ Server Maintenance

Hello, Gamers! How are we today? How is the event treating you? It must be good right? Especially since someone progressed the main storyline. Well, we are here to tell you about some slight changes we are going to make to further enhance the gameplay and the difficulty. Since the last patch notes, we have noticed that players were getting stronger but there are some unique monsters that happen to defeat players extremely easily.

Instead of nerfing them, we are going to buff them. After all, we don't want this game to be too easy. Furthermore, there seems to be a bottleneck in the technology tree. We have noticed that fewer Leaders were progressing the technology tree and found a common issue with it, therefore we will be changing some slight details. Read carefully as it might affect you.

Patch Highlights 1.3

Increases Monster Spawn Rate (During Event)

Since we do have an event happening right now, we have decided to increase the monsters that will come out of the 'Pillars of Light'. This includes the monsters that already had a high spawn rate like the skeletons and the zombies. So expect there to be 40 maybe 50 percent more mobs, than in the last 2 days. Whether this amount will destroy some up-and-coming villages is none of our concern.

Increased Monster Spawn Rate and Movement

While there is an event in progress right now, there are still monsters in the wild both small and big. Due to the attacks at night, these monsters have been forced away from their natural habitat, resulting in them invading other monster territories. These monsters will either band together into a stronger group or seek to destroy each other for the Territory and resources. As players, you might be lucky enough to fumble into a battle between two different monster groups and come out on top profiting from their fight.

Increasing All Monster Stats

Both event monsters and normal monsters will go through a strengthening phase. This is to add to the difficulty of both the event and general monsters. We have seen in just the short 2 days of the event groups of players farming large amounts of monsters coming out of the 'Pillars of Light'. While we do not condone this kind of playstyle we do not support it either, thus we want to increase the strength of the monsters to make it harder to farm. Even the generic slime or goblin will go through strengthening, with an average boost of about 20% in stats.

Increasing Evolved Monsters

As players might have experienced already, there are evolved monsters amidst the many small groups of monsters. They might be similar in shape or size or they might be a completely different variant of the monster, however, these evolved monsters are smarter and stronger than their previous counterparts. Be careful when fighting them.

Increasing Resources in the World

To counteract, the lack of progress in the technology tree, we have decided to increase the number of resources in the world. Metals like bronze, iron, tin, gold, silver, and more will be more common but it doesn't mean they will be easy to find. To make sure we do not have an overabundance of resources we are hiding them deeper in the ground but once they are found there will be more in the location than before. For those who have already found a deposit, once you go back into the game, there will be more of said resource in the vicinity.

That said, it isn't just metal that will be added to the world we will also be adding more monsters that will drop more loot which would benefit players. For example, more monsters that drop meat so that players can start to stock up on meat or monsters that drop herbs or medicinal products. We are encouraging players to find food and start to create restaurants and farms in order to build a more sustainable civilization.
